Welcome to the BMM 2017 Convention web site! It gives me immense pleasure to invite all of you to attend this spectacular convention in July 2017. The legendary Chicago architect Daniel Burnham said, “Make no little plans; they have no magic to stir men’s blood…..Make big plans, aim high in hope and work.”A team of over 300 committed volunteers representing Maharashtra Mandal, Detroit are set to do exactly the same thing!

Detroit has been a back bone of industrial revolution in America. There are a lot of Marathi engineers who have been working at important positions in the auto industry in Detroit area. Their ingenuity, dedication and perseverance have a proven track record. Marathi professionals and entrepreneurs in the area are involved in all other spheres from medicine, IT, finance, manufacturing, and construction as well, just to name a few. The tremendous support from the entire Marathi community is really the biggest asset to Maharashtra Mandal, Detroit and to the BMM 2017 convention.

The Biennial convention is a flagship activity of Bruhan Maharashtra Mandal (BMM) and I am quite confident that this convention will prove to be one of the best ever! It is a celebration of our language, culture and talent. We will ensure that there is something of interest for every attendee in the convention. Kids, young adults, families and seniors will enjoy it equally. It will showcase talented individuals in all phases of life.

All of us have come to the North American continent from different places in Maharashtra or India for that matter. All of us have worked hard to fulfill our big aspirations and have been successful in assimilating in every walk of American life. However, at the very core we strive to preserve our language , our culture and our values. To get together in a large number for BMM convention gives us a feeling of getting back to our roots and that I think that is the prime reason every Marathi individual in North America should attend the BMM 2017 Convention!

Once again, please accept my invitation to attend. See you at the convention.
